Hotnitsa Waterfalls, Veliko Tarnovo Area

Hotnitsa Waterfalls

This is one of those places that reveal the unique beauty of the Bulgarian nature. Hotnitsa Waterfalls are also known as Kaya Bunar – a natural phenomenon that flows down along the beautiful river valley and forms a number of natural landmarks that visitors can enjoy.

Kaya Bunar is located near Hotnitsa village, 15 km north of Veliko Tarnovo. Although not very high or large, the waterfall is one of the most interesting and beautiful in the northern part of Bulgaria.

The road to the waterfalls starts two kilometres before the village itself. The parking lot is not very far and from it starts the picturesque Hotnitsa Walking Trail. The waterfalls are approximately 30 metres high. The water flows down into a clear and ice cold pond. The walking trail is only 1.5 km long, but it winds along the Bohot river bed and reveals quirky rock formations, small waterfalls, bridges and green hills.
